Dolby Noise Reduction: Relevant or Not?


In the case of using a Reel to Reel tape recorder, if I play a tape that is using Dolby and I do not have a Dolby decoder, what is the result?

What Dolby decoders are suitable for Audiophile use?

Using a Reel to Reel tape recorder, would Dolby be relevant if the material was recorded at 15 ips?

Thanks

For reel to reel machine properly set, bais eq etc..at 15 ips there is no need for noise reduction. However if you prefer to have noise reduction you need to look for the professional Dolby A units.
